Alaska Gold Rush

Chen Ruobai and Henderson are not lazy, and they have no need or reason to be lazy now.

Even if the situation is slightly special, it seems that some situations are slightly beyond expectations. But Chen Ruobai is quite optimistic about the land under his feet, believing that it does have a certain value.

Henderson started digging, and after a few shovels of Luoyang's shovel, he felt that the situation was a little special. Some good things were happening, and these were the clues he most wanted to see.

Originally, there was just some soil under our feet, but after digging less than half a meter, some river sand began to appear.

This is a good thing. The appearance of river sand means that this place actually belongs to the river bed. If you find some gold in river sand, it means that it belongs to mineral sand, and you have found a gold mine!

This is obviously a good thing, and this is what Chen Ruobai and the others like to see the most. But now I only see river sand, which only proves that the previous thinking is correct, and it cannot represent anything more for the time being.

If gold is not found, it means that finding river sand is useless. At most, it is just walking on the right path.

If you want to get real harvest, you still need to see what will be dug up next.

There are some good signs now. Even if he can't see the golden light, Chen Ruobai is still very happy. Staged victory has appeared, and what needs to be done now is continued work and effort.

If you continue to search carefully, maybe you can see some new clues in the future, and maybe you can see more good things. The emergence of river sand indeed proved that some previous speculations were correct.

It can be said that we are on the right path now. If further discoveries and clues can be found, that will be a real victory. We cannot celebrate in advance now. It is not a real victory yet.

What's more, we have only dug river sand now, and it does not mean more. In fact, no one can guarantee what kind of situation will happen next.

What Chen Ruobai and Henderson should do is to continue drilling, to see how thick the river sand is, and to carefully observe whether there is any gold in the dug river sand. These are no small things. .

Henderson drilled with a huff, brought out a shovelful of soil, and poured it aside.

He also knew how to cooperate with Chen Ruobai's work to spread the river sand flat and thin, so that Chen Ruobai could observe better.

Chen Ruobai took a look and didn't say anything else, mainly because he didn't see the golden light. Then he could only continue drilling. He was always looking forward to gold appearing in the next shovelful of soil and looking forward to making some valuable discoveries.

It may be because there is no gold here, or it may be that there is no gold in the drilling location. These possibilities exist, which naturally means that continued drilling is needed.

Small samples do not have higher reference significance. Only by drilling more holes can we obtain some more credible data.

He continued to drill the hole, but suddenly Chen Ruobai's expression changed. He felt very bad, and some conditions were unexpected.

The river sand has already been dug out, so under normal circumstances, it would be natural to continue digging out the river sand. It would be best if you can see the golden light. If you can't see it, just keep drilling until you reach the bedrock layer.

But now the situation has changed suddenly, the river sand layer is only about half a meter, and what appears is mud again. This is not good news. In other words, even if gold is found, it means that the ore layer is extremely shallow. If the amount of ore is insufficient, naturally it cannot be expected to be a rich ore.

Henderson also noticed this, and began to doubt himself as he looked at the dirt, "Robert, is our luck really so bad?"

In Henderson's opinion, the 'ore sand layer' was only about half a meter, which was a sign of bad luck.

Chen Ruobai was also worried, but he still said, "Maybe we just found the weakest area at the edge of the ore layer. If we keep looking, we will definitely usher in some changes."

This is to encourage Henderson to stop him from thinking too much. Isn't this a kind of self-comfort? Chen Ruobai really hopes that his guesses will come true. He really hopes that things will turn around and usher in a series of changes.

Otherwise, you will really be a little unwilling to accept it. We are already in such a situation. At this time, we can only continue to grit our teeth and persevere. Although sometimes you need to learn to give up and stop losses in time, it is definitely not the current situation.

What needs to be done at this time is to continue to persevere. At this time, you should be able to live up to the Yellow River and know that there is no possibility before you can choose to give up.

Some small changes have dampened the enthusiasm of Chen Ruobai and Henderson. Although they will not feel weak or give up halfway, the two of them are indeed more silent now and seem a little bit depressed.

But when Chen Ruobai, who was mechanically carrying out drilling tasks, dug out a shovelful of soil again, he was stunned.

What appeared in front of him was a faint golden light. He knew that his eyes were not wrong, which meant that he had found gold!

Chen Ruobai can be sure that he did not make a mistake, this is gold sand, this is gold!

But something is wrong. This is no longer river sand. Why is there still gold in this soil? And it seems that the gold particles are relatively large, which is even more abnormal.

Chen Ruobai quickly squatted down and fiddled with the mud to pick up the gold sand with his fingertips. This is indeed gold, and this time I am extremely sure of this discovery.

Henderson was a little surprised and asked curiously, "Robert, did you find gold?"

Chen Ruobai laughed, raised his index finger and said, "Look here, it seems we have really found gold."

This time it was Henderson's turn to be dumbfounded. Originally, he just asked casually. Although he is not an experienced gold digger, he has been in this industry for a while and has gradually begun to understand some professional knowledge.

According to some previous discoveries and trends, Henderson has actually begun to be less optimistic about this area and does not think there is a chance of finding gold here. He feels that if a gold mine appears here, it would be the most abnormal thing.

But now, the most abnormal thing has happened. In this unpopular area, gold actually appeared!

Although the gold particles are not particularly large, they are barely visible to the naked eye, and Henderson has now seen the gold. Now you need to look at the land under your feet again. Some things are indeed so abnormal. There is really gold here, and the gold particle in your hand is the best proof!

Looking at the somewhat dumbfounded Henderson, Chen Ruobai smiled and said, "Look, there is gold here, you don't need to doubt it at all. So I don't need to remind you what to do, you should know what to do!" "

This is indeed the case. Everyone knows what to do. Especially since we have seen the emergence of gold, this has further clarified the focus of the next task.

Henderson immediately said, "I understand! As long as I see gold, I am always positive!"

There is no doubt about this. There is no need to mention Henderson at this time, not even Chen Ruobai.

As long as you see gold, it naturally means that you are full of energy. At this time, you must be very positive and motivated. This is another staged victory. Compared with finding river sand before, it is completely incomparable.

Finding river sand means there is the possibility of finding gold and gold mines. Now that we have seen gold, we have vaguely reached the point of discovering a gold mine. We only need to gain more information from subsequent prospecting to know the result.

Chen Ruobai and Henderson both started to get busy. Because of this unusual discovery, the two of them swept away their previous frustrations and began to become more active and proactive, with more confidence and expectations.

Henderson dug up another shovelful of soil, but it was still soil, and Chen Ruobai saw no trace of gold.

Don’t be frustrated, just keep digging, maybe you’ll find gold in just one shovelful.

But when another shovel was dug out, Henderson said quickly, "Robert, the situation has changed, a big change!"

Chen Ruobai knew what the changes Henderson was talking about, and now he was a little unable to react. Chen Ruobai, who thinks he has some growth and progress, will also be dumbfounded by some of the current situations.

Because there was some river sand vaguely appearing in the shovelful of soil dug out by Henderson, which was very abnormal.

According to common sense, the surface of the earth is a layer of soil, which is nothing to say. After digging a layer, you reach river sand, which is normal. But when the river sand layer is dug through and soil appears, it basically means that we may have to give up.

But who would have thought that river sand would appear again, which naturally made Chen Ruobai and Henderson feel very puzzled. Some of their cognitions were actually a little behind at this time.

The river sand layer is very shallow and disappears suddenly. But now it appears suddenly, which is also unexpected.

Looking carefully at the river sand, although there was no gold in it, Chen Ruobai still felt a little weird.

Needless to say, the place we came to this time was really special. From the very beginning, this place has always been unusual, and there is a lot of information that reveals some weirdness.

Chen Ruobai could only continue, "It seems that we can't judge now. We don't know what will happen next. Let's continue to observe. This may be the best way."

Henderson nodded. The situation was now confusing, so he could only continue to observe. Some common sense things should not be the basis for their judgment, because no one knows what will happen next.

Chen Ruobai took a brief look and was ready to continue digging. He was determined not to make any judgment now.

Ore sand was suddenly dug up here in Henderson. Maybe it was some special case. Chen Ruobai still had to take a closer look. If the scene is like this in other places, then it will have reference significance, otherwise it will be of little value.

While Chen Ruobai was drilling hard, Henderson was not idle either. And the soil he dug out again began to look more and more like river sand. It was basically certain that the river sand that had disappeared reappeared.

This is extremely abnormal, but it is also good news and worthy of Chen Ruobai's happiness and expectation. It seems that the more river sand there is, the greater the possibility of finding gold for him.

Chen Ruobai also dug out river sand, and his drilling progress was slightly slower than that of Henderson. But judging from the depth, it is actually relatively consistent with what Henderson found previously.

This seems very interesting. Such an abnormal sign seems to be more than just a special situation. These seem to have certain reference significance.

The disappeared river sand reappeared, and this page made Chen Ruobai and Henderson more serious. They all know that the situation this time may be more complicated, and the looming river sand will make them rack their brains.

Now we have to see whether the river sand will continue to disappear, or see how deep the river sand layer is. This is something worthy of attention.

Fortunately, I saw some gold before, so the situation of river sand does not seem to be particularly worthy of attention. It is not the decisive factor. Whether gold can be seen again is the most important basis.

Chen Ruobai, who continued to work hard, suddenly couldn't help but feel happy because Henderson was making rapid progress. After digging out the river sand again, it only lasted to a depth of about one meter. The river sand turned into soil again, which made it even more interesting.

Henderson spread his hands and said to Chen Ruobai, "Robert, I don't know now whether my luck is good or bad. But I can be sure that you have rarely encountered such a situation when you were prospecting before."

Chen Ruobai agreed with Henderson's statement, "This is my first time encountering such a situation, so I don't even know how to answer you."

Henderson said with some self-deprecation, "That's good. It seems I'm lucky. I've brought you a new understanding, and your prospecting resume has been enriched."

There is absolutely no problem in saying this, because this is the reality. This is really a 'textbook-style' prospecting, and because of some of its particularities, it will provide more reference significance.

This is obviously not a bad thing. Chen Ruobai can accept such specialties, which may bring some help and inspiration to his future prospecting work.

As for Henderson, he has no objections. He just needs to work hard. Whether it's special or not, it's actually not that important to him.

As long as he can find gold, this is what he hopes to see most. This is also his little dream and expectation. (End of chapter)
